If Kansas Had Trees - Swallow Lyrics

When I'm away
I can feel you try and drown me
I lie awake
To let your poison ground me
And I let the past sink and fold
To know what its like
To swallow whole

And I say I don't want you again
But I just can't stay being friends
I don't know why I'm so like this
I need you out, out of my head

Go ahead and watch me fade out
I'll burn brighter for a day
Find another way to slow down
Cleanse away your shame
Fall away and leave it to me
To bind our fate
Run around and cut your sorrow
Swallow everything

And I say I don't want you again
What am I gonna say to all of my friends
Why do I have to be like this
I need you out, out of my head

Go ahead and watch me fade out
I'll burn brighter for a day
Find another way to slow down now
Cleanse away your shame
Fall away and leave it to me
To bind our fate
Run around and cut your sorrow
Swallow everything

Go ahead and watch me fade out
I'll burn brighter for a day
Find another way to slow down
Cleanse away your shame
Fall away and leave it to me
To bind our fate
Run around and cut your sorrow
Swallow everything

Go ahead and watch me fade out
I'll burn brighter for a day
Find another way to slow down now
Cleanse away your shame
Fall away and leave it to me
To bind our fate
Run around and cut your sorrow
Swallow everything

Running through my head
Can't see you again
Running through my head
Swallow everything
